Q. The volume of a right cone is 180π units 3. If its radius measures 6 units, find its height.Answer: units
Write Formula: Write down the formula for the volume of a right cone.The formula for the volume of a right cone is V=31πr2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Substitute Values: Substitute the given values into the formula.We know that V=180π and r=6. So, we substitute these values into the formula to get 180π=(31)×π×62×h.
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.First, calculate 62, which is 36. Then, the equation becomes 180π=(31)⋅π⋅36⋅h.
Isolate Variable: Isolate the variable h. To isolate h, we divide both sides of the equation by (1/3)×π×36. This gives us h=(1/3)×π×36180π.
Simplify Right Side: Simplify the right side of the equation.The pi terms cancel out, and we are left with h=(31)×36180. Simplifying further, we get h=12180.
Calculate Value: Calculate the value of h.Dividing 180 by 12 gives us h=15.
